Deliciously tender brisket and the baked beans are like none other I’ve tried! I would love to try the rest of their meat and side options as they had sold out of almost everything before the holiday! No doubt they hit the spot too. The owners are just wonderful people as well. As they were closing soon, they were generous to offer me, without charge, larger servings of my sides along with an additional jalapeno slaw. Don’t walk, run to visit this local establishment.

I was treated to a 3 meat plate of amazing BBQ under a Texas sized shade tree. The food was amazing, and the staff is super friendly. I can’t wait to share this little gem with my family and friends!

While looking for a new BBQ place, my wife and I found this place. The brisket was amazing. The ribs were amazing. The sausage was amazing. The sides were amazing. I highly reccomend you stop by and get yourself some high quality BBQ.

We almost passed this place up because of the location. When you first turn into the parking lot, all you see is an ice house. It was confusing at first, but then we spotted the food trailer on the very end. Little did we know we were about to be served some of the best BBQ in Harris County. They were closing early because they had sold out of almost everything. Luckily we were able to order 2lbs of brisket, pulled pork, and sausage and a sample of all their side items. Everything was great, but I have never, and I mean never tasted brisket this tender in my whole life. The BBQ sauce had a great flavor as well, but honestly, this meat didn’t need any sauce. It’s that good!! My taste buds are already begging me to return. Hopefully we will get there early enough next time to try the ribs and pork belly.

MUST TRY!! You saved Texas BBQ for us floridians, we thought BBQ here was a lost cost till we tried this! The brisket was a little fatty but it was good, the ribs was amazing the brisket rice was good, and my neice loved the potatoe salad. The fries was really good too. I didn't care for the BBQ sauce but the carolina gold was good. Overall great place, the lady was sweet and was very helpful. I definitely recommend.

I am so glad I decided to give this spot a try! This is one of the few places in Cypress that offers such delicious bbq. The owner, David, was so kind and helpful. He happily let us try the dirty rice and even gave us a generous amount to-go without charge. I got the 3 meat plate, which came with a huge amount of brisket, ribs, and sausage. The meats were all amazing and smokey. I especially loved the snap of the sausage. The pinto beans and jalapeno coleslaw were also amazing. Their bbq sauce and honey mustard were so delicious. The owner also let us pick out free drinks to-go. He even mentioned specials they have, such as wings and smash burgers on certain days. Service was certainly 10/10. I would definitely return again and would *highly* recommend this spot to anyone in Cypress!

White knuckling a long and rainy drive with little visibility through Texas. We were tired. We were hungry. We needed substance to continue our long journey a cross the country. We are in Texas and want to eat the food of the land so I google BBQ near me. I see Have Mercy BBQ with 4.9 stars only a few minutes off our path. I pray they are open since it is a BBQ trailer and the weather is terrible. My prayers were answered and I was greeted by the pit master of my dreams. He takes my order with kindness and attentiveness. My stomach growls as I wait in the cold misty darkness of the night. This prince offers to take our order to car. He delivers what is the best BBQ to ever grace my lips. I shed a single tear as I tasted this nectar of the gods. Along with the life changing BBQ, the angel of a man delivered a stack of napkins to last the rest of our trip. I was born again with love in my heart and the strength to carry on. Thank you for your service, Have Mercy BBQ. You are doing the lord's work.
